Started by taking the bus to Støbotn and from there following Toppevegen up to the marked trailhead. I followed the relatively steep trail to the summit of Toppenipa, before continuing towards Toppefjellet. Nice views as always from both summits. Did not meet a single person though, which may explain my next encounter.

As I was taking pictures at the summit of Toppefjellet I suddenly heard a large animal running in the direction of Toppenipa, starting from just south of the summit. Initially I could not see the animal, but as it ran northwest it made a short stop in a small clearing, long enough for me to confirm my suspicion that it was a deer and to take a quick picture, before it again disappeared into the trees.

After this unexpected excitement, I turned back and followed the same trail back towards Toppenipa. But instead of going across Toppenipa I instead followed another trail southeast, soon arriving at "Toppe Gartneri". From there I followed Toppevegen and Sollsmittet back to Slettestølvegen. 20 minutes until the next bus, so I concluded the hike by walking south along Morkvikveien until taking the bus from Lokketovegen back towards the city center.
